Cool! Anyway, if UBIFS has some reclaim recursion critical sections in general it would be really great to have them documented and that is where the scope api is really handy. Just add the scope and document what is the recursion issue. This will help people reading the code as well. Ideally there shouldn't be any explicit GFP_NOFS in the code. Thanks for a quick turnaround. -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs
